Just over a year after ORIANA was launched on 27th August 1996 ORIANA's officers and company assembled on ORIANA's terraced aft decks while docked in Palma Majorca to pose for a farewell photo for ORIANA's first master Commodore Gibb who after long service with P&O in both the cargo and passenger divisions was given command of ORIANA as P&O's new flagship.
Also during his final cruise a special retirement lunch was held for him and his wife which was attended by the ships senior officers.

Ian Gibb is a cousin of mine, and I am a huge fan of this ship. Coincidence much?
